Psalm 103

Psalm 103

Of David.

Praise the Lord,^a my soul;^b

all my inmost being, praise his holy name.^c

Praise the Lord,^d my soul,

and forget not^e all his benefits—

who forgives all your sins^f

and heals^g all your diseases,

who redeems your life^h from the pit

and crowns you with love and compassion,ⁱ

who satisfies^j your desires with good things

so that your youth is renewed^k like the eagle’s.^l

The Lord works righteousness^m

and justice for all the oppressed.ⁿ

He made known^o his ways^p to Moses,

his deeds^q to the people of Israel:

The Lord is compassionate and gracious,^r

slow to anger, abounding in love.

He will not always accuse,

nor will he harbor his anger forever;^s

he does not treat us as our sins deserve^t

or repay us according to our iniquities.

For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

so great is his love^u for those who fear him;^v

as far as the east is from the west,

so far has he removed our transgressions^w from us.

As a father has compassion^x on his children,

so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;

for he knows how we are formed,^y

he remembers that we are dust.^z

As for mortals, their days are like grass,^a

they flourish like a flower^b of the field;

the wind blows^c over it and it is gone,

and its place^d remembers it no more.

But from everlasting to everlasting

the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,

and his righteousness with their children’s children^e—

with those who keep his covenant^f

and remember^g to obey his precepts.^h

The Lord has established his throneⁱ in heaven,

and his kingdom rules^j over all.

Praise the Lord,^k you his angels,^l

you mighty ones^m who do his bidding,ⁿ

who obey his word.

Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,^o

you his servants^p who do his will.

Praise the Lord, all his works^q

everywhere in his dominion.

Praise the Lord, my soul.^r
